ASHRAE Seeking Papers for 2015 Winter Conference in Chicago

ASHRAE recently issued a call for papers for its 2015 Winter Conference, to be held Jan. 24-28 in Chicago.

“With the conference being held in the big city of Chicago, the technical program itself is going big with a focus on big projects, the big picture, and big impacts,” Doug Cochrane, conference chair, said.

Papers are sought for eight tracks:

Systems and Equipment, which covers considerations for a properly functioning HVAC system.

Fundamentals and Applications, which covers a broad array of pertinent information.

Industrial Facilities, which will explore HVAC design and practices for industrial buildings.

Large Buildings: Mission Critical Facilities and Applications, which will look at requirements for data-center applications.

Energy Efficiency, which covers an array of considerations for achieving net-zero energy.

Conference papers, which have an eight-single-spaced-page maximum length, are submitted in PDF format, and undergo a single-blind review. Abstracts are due March 24. Accepted papers will be due July 7.

Full technical papers, which undergo a double-blind review and can be a maximum of 30 double-spaced pages. The deadline for these papers is April 14.
